Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Anterior view of the right ventricle

Description:  This close up, anatomical view of this morphologically right ventricle demonstrates the classic features of tetralogy of Fallot. The thickened tricuspid valve guards the inlet to the right ventricle which is hypertrophic. There is a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) and because the aorta overrides the interventricular septum, the aortic valve can be seen at the roof of the ventricular septal defect. Anterior deviation of the outlet septum (yellow dots) causes the infundibular or subpulmonary stenosis. Hypertrophy of the septoparietal trabeculations contributes to the subpulmonary stenosis.

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Lateral view of the left ventricle

Description:  The left ventricular aspect of the heart shown above demonstrates the interventricular communication and the aorta overriding the interventricular septum. The aortic valve is in fibrous continuity with the mitral and tricuspid valves (not shown).
